Landscape architect, broadcaster and writer Bunny Guinness is one of the best-known names in horticulture.After taking to YouTube to speak out in support of the use of peat as the Government seeks to ban it, she tells the podcast "most people don't understand the proper argument and we must get the facts out there" and offers an alternative solution to the ban."I do think Monty Don is bad on peat. I'm glad he's getting the nation gardening but wish he'd learn a bit more about the peat argument," she adds.Guinness also addresses the RHS's "ridiculous" change of opinion on calling slugs pests, talks about her illustrious career as a RHS Chelsea Flower Show designer and how the RHS needs to use more women as judges at Chelsea Flower Show.
